Pupillary dynamics link spontaneous and task-evoked activations recorded directly from human insula
2020
Journal of Neuroscience
Within the dorsal anterior insula, a brain region implicated in salience processing and alertness, activations that are either spontaneous or task-evoked are coupled with brief dilations of the pupil. ...

Moreover, human resting-state fMRI studies have linked spontaneous pupil fluctuations with slow hemodynamic activity in large-scale cortical networks, including the salience network (Murphy et al., 2014 ...

2013
Frontiers in Psychology
During functional magnetic resonance imaging studies of meditation the cortical salience detecting and executive networks become active during "awareness of mind wandering," "shifting," and "sustained ...

Brain Networks Underlying Eye's Pupil Dynamics
2019
Frontiers in Neuroscience
Although pupil diameter is known to be associated with noradrenergic firing in the pontine Locus Coeruleus (LC), thus far the causal chain coupling spontaneous pupil dynamics to specific cortical brain ...
Furthermore, we found BOLD-fMRI activations correlated with pupil diameter change rate within a set of brain regions known to be implicated in selective attention, salience, error-detection and decision-making ...

Individual differences in resting-state pupil size: Evidence for association between working memory capacity and pupil size variability
2019
International Journal of Psychophysiology
We were unable to replicate the relation between average pupil size and WMC. However, the novel finding was that higher WMC was associated with higher variability in resting-state pupil size. ...
The present results are relevant for the current debate on the role of noradrenergic activity on working memory capacity. ...

Orienting and Reorienting: The Locus Coeruleus Mediates Cognition through Arousal
2012
Neuron
Central activation of neuromodulatory neurons and peripheral arousal, together, prepare the organism for a reorientation or reset of cortical networks and an adaptive behavioral response. ...
The noradrenergic nucleus locus coeruleus is activated in parallel with the autonomic system in response to biological imperatives. ...

Oculometric signature of switch into awareness? Pupil size predicts sudden insight whereas microsaccades problem-solving via analysis
2020
NeuroImage
Pupil dilation and microsaccades were not reliably related, but both appear to be robust markers of how people solve problems (with or without insight). ...
Additionally, we explored eye movement dynamics during the same task to investigate if the problem-solving strategies used are linked to specific oculomotor behaviors. ...

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Modulation of Pupillary Unrest
2020
Frontiers in Neuroscience
Furthermore, we found that spontaneous fluctuations of skin conductance are accompanied by increases of pupil size. ...
In an independent sample, we were able to corroborate the relation of PUI with RMSSD and skin conductance. ...
In accordance to this finding, other studies suggest that changes of pupil size are mainly regulated by the salience network that contains structures related to sympathetic control (Beissner et al., 2013 ...

A locus coeruleus-norepinephrine account of individual differences in working memory capacity and attention control
2017
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
Specifically, we suggest that because of dysregulation of LC-NE functioning, the fronto-parietal control network for low WMC individuals is only weakly activated, resulting in greater default-mode network ...
In the current article we suggest that part of the WMC-attention control relation is due to variation in the functioning of the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system (LC-NE). ...

Neuromodulation of Brain State and Behavior
2020
Annual Review of Neuroscience
Neural activity and behavior are both notoriously variable, with responses differing widely between repeated presentation of identical stimuli or trials. ...
We propose that the brain has an identifiable set of states through which it wanders continuously in a nonrandom fashion, owing to the activity of both ascending modulatory and fast-acting corticocortical ...
Spontaneous fluctuations in the SCP have the same organization as resting-state networks observed in fMRI (He et al. 2008) , and negative SCP correlates with fMRI activation in simultaneous recordings ...

Individual differences in baseline oculometrics: Examining variation in baseline pupil diameter, spontaneous eye blink rate, and fixation stability
2019
Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience
The results also demonstrated the importance of examining what participants are thinking about during the baseline measure. ...
Overall, the vast majority of correlations with the baseline eye measures were weak and nonsignificant, suggesting that these associations may not be very robust. ...
In another resting state study, Schneider et al. (2016) found that pupil dilations (but not overall pupil size) was related to activity in the frontal-parietal network and to activity in the salience ...

Beyond eye gaze: What else can eyetracking reveal about cognition and cognitive development?
2017
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
Taken together, gaze, pupil dilation, and blink rate are three non-invasive and complementary measures of cognition with high temporal resolution and well-understood neural foundations. ...
Spontaneous eyeblink rate correlates with levels of dopamine in the central nervous system, and can reveal processes underlying learning and goal-directed behavior. ...
In addition to the task-related findings above, it has been shown that pupil dilation during resting-state fMRI or mental imagery is temporally correlated with activation of default-mode areas (medial ...
